The Watch Thread - Part 14

[DXMachina]

That is a cool mod on the skx!

man, this is a really nice mod. Every time you post this I feel like hooting the 007!

Thanks guys. Won't go wrong with the SKX, modded or stock.

貼上SOPROD品牌的機芯，大家有何印象？
沒？貴？差？假？

或者有買過 STEINHART OT500 潛水錶的錶友應該會有印象，而且是負面的。因爲 OT500 内的機芯問題多多，有些也許沒有遇到，運氣差的就會撞到。
SOPROD 機芯一般上認識的錶友，就會想到貴。因爲不少采用SOPROD機芯的錶款的確是比平常采用ETA還是SELITTAS機芯的，近乎同功能錶款來的較貴。

或者有些已經知道了，也許有些不知。
SOPROD 已經買下另一個中資瑞士機芯製造廠 TECHNOTIME 了！

...Notably, the producer of the calibre, Technotime, went out of business recently and its assets were acquired by Soprod, a larger movement manufacturer that’s part of the Festina Group...

TECHNOTIME 也許很多人很陌生，或者有些有些印象，因爲我就曾經向大家介紹過OPHION 5天續航錶款。

而，OPHION 錶就是采用 TECHNOTIME TT718 機芯的。

OPHION 新推出的 OPH786 錶款

將會繼續采用現有TECHNOTIME未被收購之前製造的機芯。

庫存一旦殆盡之後，將會采用挂上SOPROD名號的機芯。
到時價格是否有變動。。。不能估計。​

quick question

does local AD print the serial number of the watch on the official receipt?

say tudor

I would say no, but by request i think you can request for it at point of sale.

i'm trying to recollect my memories, but i am sure serial number is not on the invoice. (hope i am wrong)

been a while i bought a watch since retirement

Retirement is but a temporary phase for elites. Jordan, Mayweather, TRT etc.

Guys any recommendations for a watch below $300 for a 17 yo boy? Not too flashy design and resistant to knocks as my boy can be quite careless.

G-Shock? Tough as hell and will last for ages.

Casio would be my choice. Kids, just let them have something functional

I remember as a secondary student, i saw my neighbour at that time - his father gave him a TAG (about $800 back then) - a bit over the top lah

Looking for a watch for my dad below $1000. His wrist diameter should be around 5.5 cm.
He is in his 70s already so I guess he will like older fashioned watches. I guess kinetic movement should be good? (no need battery? or are there hybrids of battery and kinetic movement)

If you can recommend particular models/photos and also where to buy/browse at leisure, it will be deeply appreciated.

My plan is to shortlist 1 or 2 recommended models, then find the best place to see the watches (and to see the other watch models at the particular place), then let him decide himself. But I don't wish to tell him yet so just want to do some evaluation and shortlisting for the time being.
Get a citizen titanium eco-drive? Affordable, hassle free, reliable and light/tough.

Got my dad a citizen excalibur

Can I know how much are the prices for both the Citizen Titanium eco-drive and citizen excalibur roughly?

If there are any other strong recommendations for watches, kindly let me know too.

Like what the rest said G-Shock or Seiko SKX.

A slightly more expensive option will be Victorinox Inox

I got my father-in-law this watch from Bic Camera Japan for under SGD 600, but I am not sure where to find it in Singapore.

Its Eco-drive, Titanium and Perpetual Calendar.
